The incident happened on Sunday 9 June just after midnight in Goose Gate near Baa Bar in Nottingham city centre.
Two men have approached a group outside the bar before carrying out the attack, with one of the victims, aged 20, being struck to the face multiple times whilst on the floor. The two men then fled the scene.
The victim required hospital treatment and was left with 10 stitches to his forehead and a broken nose.
Police have now released images of two men who could help them further their investigation. They are calling on the public’s help to identify them.
